ISG

ISG operates a hybrid advisory-and-software model. It sells enterprise consulting services around sourcing, cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, CX and transactions, then reinforces those engagements with proprietary benchmarking and governance platforms. Advisory work generates service revenue and creates data, client relationships and implementation opportunities; software products convert that expertise into repeatable subscription revenue and support deeper account penetration.

Information Services Group, Inc. is a publicly listed technology research, advisory and enterprise software company serving large organisations, especially CIO offices, procurement teams, sourcing professionals and business leaders managing transformation programmes. Its core activities include technology and sourcing advisory, cloud and data consulting, AI strategy, cybersecurity and M&A support, alongside proprietary software platforms for IT benchmarking, pricing intelligence and supplier governance.

ISG makes money through a hybrid model of consulting fees and recurring software subscriptions. Its consulting business delivers project-based and managed advisory engagements, while its platforms monetise proprietary datasets and workflow tools through subscription access. The company’s value proposition centres on combining human advisory expertise with data assets gathered from benchmarking, transaction history and market intelligence.
